This marks Daimler’s entry into the electric intercity segment, with series production scheduled to begin in 2026.

The EB12 full-size route bus is fully homologated and ready to order

The operator purchase of 20 new Volvo BZRLE low-floor electric buses in São Paulo, Brazil.

Market factors favour biomethane/gas buses in both Brazil and Argentina says Agrale director.

Operated by Vy Buss for Västtrafik, the bus now runs a scheduled 4-kilometre route connecting Gothenburg Central Station to Liseberg Station, with seven stops through the Gårda district. This marks the official launch of Sweden’s first Level 4 autonomous public transit bus operating in regular urban traffic.

The order from Agrale is for 50 e-drivetrains worth GBP5.45 million.

The new 9-metre bus, the ‘Avenue Neo’, is based on the manufacturer’s existing line of 9-metre electric buses, the ‘MD9 Electricity’, while featuring modern additions such as mirror cameras and other advanced driver assistance systems.

The low-entry 12-metre bus is powered by the combination of a 100-kW Ballard fuel cell and the Voith Electrical Drive System, delivering 410-kW peak power.

The eIntouro remains on track for a 2026 launch and will be Daimler’s first fully electric intercity bus.

With its new modular electric drivetrain, KleanDrive offers a drop-in solution that can be prefabricated, shipped, and installed with minimal disruption. The approach allows fleet operators to transform ageing diesel vehicles into state-of-the-art zero-emission assets at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

The Turkish manufacturer announced “steady growth” of its market share in Europe, with nearly three hundred vehicles delivered to Italy last year and three hundred to be sold in France by the end of the current year.

Teased earlier this year, the battery electric coach is a three-axle model measuring 13.9 metres and accommodating up to 63 passengers (not 61 as previously reported).
